Page type item
Page items allow the users to add pages other than question pages to their quizzes. You can add a page as an introduction or an end page to a quiz, to separate sections or for any other useful function in presenting your quiz.
This type of item can be used to give a lesson, an explanation or instructions. You can follow a page like this with a series of exercises based on various item types.
At the top and bottom of the page, you can see the Save button, to save the information you have entered, Cancel if you choose not to save the new information, and Preview to see how the item will appear when published. This last command allows you to see the item exactly as it will appear to the respondent.
Note that when you add an item to the library of a given project for which you have invited people to collaborate with you, this item will also be available for them to consult or modify as needed. What's more, if one of the people collaborating modifies an item, the modified version of the item will appear in all of the quizzes that use this item.
